Making Contact Encourages Sales

Filed Under Customers, Sales-Increasing Strategies | 4 Comments

A designer called me last week in tears because two of her customers decided to move their long-time accounts to another gift basket business that recently opened in the area.

“I didn’t know they existed. I figured that the economy was hurting everyone, and this company caught me by surprise.”

I told her that the best way to start the healing process was to begin contacting her customers by telephone, assuring them that she’d work with each of them to keep their businesses strong and healthy during the downturn.

As expected, three customers ordered just because she made contact.

Maintaining silence with clients and expecting business to come to you is not the best way to profit, and as you read, silence can cause you to lose customers.

Connecting with people who buy helps them realize that you’re not just a gift basket designer, you’re also a partner in their success, saving them time and satisfying recipients who receives gift baskets from you.

Start making contact today, whether by postcard, letter, or telephone. You may be pleasantly surprised by who, all of a sudden, orders a gift basket.

Sell Gift Baskets for More Than Money

Filed Under Customers, Sales-Increasing Strategies | Comments Off

One gift basket retailer I coached in 2003 told me her main purpose for opening her store was “to make lots of money.”

While this reason may be on your list of priorities, what I’ve found to be more compelling, especially thinking about your business while standing in your customers’ shoes, is to consider how what you sell brings them joy, save them time, and solves their problems.

For example, I gave my bank’s manager a Christmas gift made from chocolate that I knew would serve double duty. The gift came from my heart, but I also knew that the manager would love what she received and would want to give the same to some of her customers.

Why? Because the gift would bring her customers joy, save the manager shopping time, and solve her “what to get them” problem. With one phone call, she thanked me and immediately ordered a dozen of the chocolates as Christmas gifts for bank clients.

Position your gift baskets as goodwill products that strengthen relationships between individuals and corporations. Yes, gift baskets will make you money, and they will also become a strong link between you, clients, referral customers, and strong relationships everywhere.
